I’ve been meaning to turn off that Front Row shortcut for a while now, and now I can!

Hey, hey. Looks like Firebug 1.5.0 has finally come out of beta.

Improvements I actually appreciate:

  • Enhanced Inspector
  • More accurate Net panel timings
  • Improved HTML editing
  • Separate Computed CSS and Style subpanels

The other additions are nice, just not sure that I’d actually use them.

This is interesting: VMware has bought Zimbra from Yahoo.

I remember when I was looking into JavaScript frameworks many moons ago and I looked at Zimbra’s and thought it was horrible to use.  Not sure if that’s the case anymore, but back when Yahoo bought Zimbra, I always wondered why.  Maybe it was the people, but I wasn’t so keen on the technology they bought.  Plus, I can’t help but remember all the uncov posts about Zimbra as well.

That all being said, what is VMware going to do with Zimbra?

There are two software updates that came out recently.

1. Mozilla Thunderbird version 3.  I’ve used the Thunderbird Betas and RCs ever since they’ve been available and have, for the most part, been quite pleased.  It’s been so long since I’ve used Thunderbird 2, that I don’t really remember how it looked.  Thunderbird 3’s new tabs and search functionality are hard to live without now.

2. Adobe Air 2 beta. I haven’t used that many Air apps – mainly as there aren’t many out there.  But, I have used a few.  I think Jonathon Snook’s Snitter was an Air app.  I used that for a while until he ceased development of it.  I also have used ExtJS’s Documentation Air app a few times.  The big updates are better profiling for CPU and memory and a Webkit update giving it the latest HTML5 and CSS3 features.
